Day one focused on hourly habitats, Pokémon with special costumes, and the Global Arena Challenges, while day two includes every Legendary Pokémon that has ever been available in Pokémon Go‘s five-star raids. 

Now, from 10am to 6pm local time on July 18, players can complete new Special Research based on the surprising appearance of Hoopa’s rings, which are bringing the Legendary Pokémon into the game. There’s also some Timed Research that will reward players for simply participating in raids throughout the day.
